A quantum computing interface system is provided. The system presents a classical computing user interface (UI) element to represent a classical computing domain. An altered appearance of the classical computing UI element indicates a classical domain event occurring in the classical computing domain. The system presents a quantum computing UI element to represent a quantum computing domain. An altered appearance of the quantum computing UI element indicates a quantum domain event occurring in the quantum computing domain. The system presents a data connection UI element to represent a data connection between the classical computing domain and the quantum computing domain. An altered appearance of the data connection UI element indicates a data flow event related to data transition between the classical computing domain and the quantum computing domain.

A recommender system and method to facilitate non-biasing search queries, social media feeds, and other platforms in which a user searches, scrolls, and engages with information and ideas so that a user can explore ideas outside of, or even contrary to, the ones with which they are aligned. Through a computer-implemented 'curiosity halo' recommendation engine and method, users are made aware of the existence of other notions centered around or connected to a topic. The users could also engage to be directed to adjacent notions and “lines of flight” around the topic, thereby broadening their perspective and strengthening their ability to think “outside the box”—or bubble. By adjusting a threshold based on curiosity level and tolerance for divergent thinking, the boundaries of the curiosity halo are continually redrawn in real time so that users can dynamically uncover topics and ideas outside of their day-to-day experience.

Inspiring divergent thinking and creativity via curiosity halo

Distributing communications to users within a network computing system may include monitoring, using a processor, communications between users exchanged within the network computing system, detecting, using the processor, a question within a first communication from a client device of a first user directed to a client device of a second user, and determining, using the processor, that the question is unanswered. Responsive to detecting an answer to the question in a second communication from a client device of a third user directed to the first user, a further communication notifying the second user of the answer to the question may be sent using a processor.

A method, system and computer program product for performing a search from another individual's social perspective. A name or a portion of a name of an individual known by the user is received. A directory search is then performed pertaining to the individual known by the user. After the user identifies the known individual from the directory search results, a selection to perform a directory, content or document search from the known individual's social perspective is received. Such a search may be performed based on the social network of the known individual. In this manner, by performing such searches from the social perspective of the known individual, such as the individual who disclosed the name of the individual who the user would like to contact, the user will be more likely to identify the correct individual, content or document in a more efficient manner.

Searching people, content and documents from another person's social perspective

Presenting a marking element in a social networking interaction where the marking element includes a question specifier and an answer specifier, creating a knowledge element in response to a user activating the marking element on the social networking interaction or a portion thereof, and presenting a knowledge element indicator in the social networking interaction.

Capturing and managing knowledge from social networking interactions

Managing email content in an activity stream includes receiving a selection of a number of criteria that indicate content to be presented in an activity stream, retrieving email content based on the number of criteria, and displaying the email content in an activity stream by referencing email data related to the metadata.

Managing email content in an activity stream

A method for providing updates for pieces of content in a deck may include creating, by a processor, a deck. The deck may include a plurality of pieces of content. The method may also include leveraging, by the processor, a part of existing content, existing before creation of the deck, for at least one of the plurality of pieces of content in the deck. The at least one of the plurality of pieces of content in the deck, that leverages the part of existing content, is leveraged content and the part of the existing content is referenced content. The method may additionally include configuring, by the processor, the leveraged content for following the referenced content or ancillary content of the referenced content to obtain updates or notifications of updates to the referenced content or ancillary content.

Content following content for providing updates to content leveraged in a deck

Modifying an activity stream to display recent events of a resource includes checking-in a user to a resource to provide context about the resource, specifying a time duration for which the user is checked-in to the resource, and modifying, based on the time duration, an activity stream of the user to display recent events of the resource.

A method, system and computer program product for checking documents using colloquialisms. Colloquialisms used in messages by users in a social network are tracked. The relationships (e.g., co-worker) between the senders and recipients of these messages are identified. A social graph is then generated to depict the relations between the users in the social network based on these identified relationships. Furthermore, usage patterns of colloquialisms (e.g., a particular colloquialism is used only with close friends as opposed to co-workers) are formulated. A rule set is generated using the social graph and formulated usage patterns. By using the rule set to check documents, documents may be more accurately checked for spelling and/or grammatical errors by taking into consideration the appropriate usage of colloquialisms based on the context (e.g., communicating with a friend). Furthermore, alternative words or phrases may be appropriately recommended based on the context using such a rule set.

Checking documents for spelling and/or grammatical errors and/or providing recommended words or phrases based on patterns of colloquialisms used among users in a social network

A method for dynamically managing parking space utilization including receiving a dynamic feed of available parking spaces across a set of sectors, each parking space associated with a parking control device, each sector having a preferred utilization rate; utilizing a processor to determine that a parking utilization rate of a first sector exceeds a preferred utilization rate for the first sector; upon receiving a location based parking space reservation request from a user, the request capable of being fulfilled from a plurality of sectors, providing a list of available parking spaces meeting the request including associated prices dynamically generated, wherein parking spaces in the first sector are priced higher than parking spaces in other sectors; and upon selection of one of the provided list of available parking spaces by the user, allocating the selected parking space to the user at the provided associated price and notifying the parking control device associated with the selected parking space.
